In Bandcamp's messaging when they were acquired, expanding these payment systems was a major highlight. Combine this with Epic's messaging against Apple and Google about opening up billing on mobile platforms and major goals becomes very clear. One of these major goals can be a subscription service but to me it's obvious they're wanting to get into the artist -> individual creator/studio licensing environment for game/movie creators who already rely on Unreal.

The good news about this is that none of this should impact Bandcamp negatively, neither as a consumer or an artist, not unless you see more avenues to sell your music/merch as a bad thing. Bad news is your favorite Bandcamp artist will sell out ;)
